2025 Hotel Cateys: one week left to enter

There is just one week left to nominate the biggest talents and greatest brands in the hotel sector for recognition at the 2025 Hotel Cateys, held in partnership with Bidfood.

The Hotel Cateys 2025 will recognise and reward the individuals and teams in the hotel sector that work tirelessly to make sure their business delivers an exceptional guest experience.

The event will return to Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London on 24 November.

The awards span 20 categories and recognise the breadth of the hotel industry, from front-of-house teams to housekeepers excelling in their field, as well as those making an outstanding contribution to the wider hotel industry. Categories include the Best Use of Innovative Technology, Concierge of the Year, Restaurant Chef of the Year and many more.

Enter 2025 Hotel Cateys.

The winners represent the finest the hotel industry has to offer, such as last year’s Hotel Restaurant Team of the Year, the Pass at South Lodge. Under the leadership of head chef Ben Wilkinson and general manager Monika Zurawska, the nine-person team at the Michelin-star restaurant showcased how a communicative and collaborative culture translated into Hotel Catey critical acclaim.

And similarly, rooms division manager at De Vere Tortworth Court Charlotte Karadag, who won Front of House Manager of the Year at the 2024 Hotel Cateys, and went on to win an Acorn this year, is a stand-out example of the exceptional young talent in the industry.

Speaking to The Caterer, Karadag said: “I am incredibly grateful to win the Hotel Cateys Front of House Manager of the Year 2024. I have always had a strong passion for the hospitality industry and this recognition represents a truly rewarding journey that I have been through so far.”
